Welcome back, Marcus Sherels
WR Chad Beebe has been placed on IR and LB Devante Downs has been waived.
People seriously dog on Sherels as a punt returner? He's the best we've ever had: the franchise leader in PR yardage (2,447), PR avg (10.6 yards/return) and PR touchdowns (5)
We have fans that dogged Patterson as a KR...never underestimate the potential stupidity of any fan base...

@"JimmyinSD" said:IMO, if he wasn't doing a good job at PR, he wouldn't have stuck around for 7 years. It wasn't his DB skills that kept him on the roster. And if he wasn't doing what the coaches asked, he wouldn't have stuck around. I just chuckle imagining any of us standing out there looking at the sky while huge bodies sprint at us intending on maximum impact. Sherels was fearless from my perspective. Years of doing the job gave him a confidence in 1st, catching the ball, and second, side stepping the first guy and then finding positive yards.@"Purpleblooded" said: People seriously dog on Sherels as a punt returner?

Sherels is not Billy White shoes Johnson or anything but he has been a GREAT punt returner for us. I just hope he catches the ball like he always has. my only fear is he has taken no hits all year so he’s not really adjusted to getting hit.
@"greediron" said:again though, not saying he isnt doing a good job, just that there are things that left me frustrated with his game at times. letting the ball hit the turf is one of them because its pretty rare that they bounce in our favor..@"JimmyinSD" said:IMO, if he wasn't doing a good job at PR, he wouldn't have stuck around for 7 years.

What's to like about the Treadwell move? Its easy, he knows the offense and he'll hardly play. The guy was out there for any other team to sign, had tryouts yet NOTHING. He'll be out of the league as soon as Minnesota is done with him.
